COLLABORATION SYSTEM INCLUDING A SPATIAL EVENT MAP - A spatial event map system including server-side data processor that maintains a spatial event map which locates events in a workspace. The spatial event map includes a log of events, entries in the log having a location of a graphical target of the event in the workspace and a time. The system includes logic to send messages including an event, a location of a graphical target of the event in the workspace and a time, to client-side network nodes; and to receive messages identifying events that create or modify a graphical target, and to add corresponding entries to the log of events. The events can include history events that are sent to the other client-side network nodes, and added to the log for the corresponding history events, and ephemeral events that are sent to other client-side network nodes without adding corresponding entries in the log.

Collaboration System with Whiteboard Access to Global Collaboration Data - A computer system has access to a database storing collaboration data for at least one collaboration having a collaboration space. The collaboration data includes data structures identifying objects displayable by a display client on a display wall and associating locations in the collaboration space with the objects. The system includes logic configured to identify available display walls, each available wall having an identification code; logic to detect user input identifying a collaboration and an identification code for one of the free display walls; and logic to enable delivery of collaboration data for the identified collaboration to a display client for the identified display wall.

DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT PRODUCT WITH SHAPED FLUID STORAGE STRUCTURES - A disposable absorbent product includes a backsheet, a topsheet overlaying the backsheet, and a core disposed between the backsheet and topsheet for retaining fluid secreted by a wearer of the absorbent product. The core has a length dimension, a width dimension, and a thickness dimension orthogonal to the length and width dimensions. The core includes first and second fluid storage structures, with the first fluid storage structure at least partially surrounding the second fluid storage structure in the thickness dimension. The second fluid storage structure extends along a longitudinal axis and has a head portion, as well as a pair of leg portions, with the leg portions being longitudinally opposed the head portion. Each of the leg portions extends along a minor axis that defines, with the longitudinal axis, an acute included angle.

Foot-sliding quad vehicle with tilt-grip steering - A foot-sliding quad vehicle with tilt-grip steering includes two foot platforms secured to a sturdy four-wheeled frame and user-centric handle bars and grips. This breakaway human-powered, multi-geared craft takes advantage of the natural standing position, allowing back-and-forth thrusts to create forward vehicle propulsion in a stable and balanced environment. Compared with its cycling predecessors, it offers an innovative riding experience, with a higher degree of universality with age- and size-independent features, such as adjustable feet binders, flexible range-of-motion sliding, and variable handle positions. Whether for recreation, fitness, or transportation, riders will also appreciate customizable elements and exciting new embodiments of the present invention.

Transducer Unit Incorporating an Acoustic Coupler - The present invention relates to a transducer unit for an ultrasonic breast imaging system, in which an acoustic coupler is employed which comprises a frame in which a transducer is mounted. The frame is open at one end, and a surface of the transducer is exposed at the open end. The frame and exposed transducer surface are put under compression against the surface of a compression plate with a gasket, or similar, providing a fluid-tight seal therebetween. A thin layer of acoustic couplant is provided between the transducer surface and the compression plate. The frame defines a chamber around the nonexposed surface of the transducer, the chamber housing an acoustic couplant.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY DEVELOPING A HIGH PERFORMANCE CLASSIFIER FOR PRODUCING MEDICALLY MEANINGFUL DESCRIPTORS IN MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS IMAGING - A method for determining the presence or absence of malignant features in medical images, wherein a plurality of base comparison or training images of various types of lesions taken of actual patient is examined by one or more image reading experts to create a first database array. Low-level features of each of the lesions in the same plurality of base comparisons or training images arc determined using one or more image processing algorithms to obtain a second database array set. The first and second database array set are combined to create a training database array set which is input to a learning system that discovers/learns a classifier that maps from a subset of the low-level features to the expert's evaluation in the first database array set. The classifier is used to determine the presence of a particular mid-level feature in an image of lesion in a patient based solely on the image.

EXTENDED FIELD OF VIEW ULTRASONIC IMAGING WITH A TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY PROBE - An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces an extended field of view (EFOV) image. A 3D imaging probe is moved along the skin of a patient above the anatomy which is to be included in the EFOV image. As the probe is moved, images are acquired from a plurality of differently oriented image planes such as a sagittal plane and a transverse plane. As the probe is moved the image data of successive planes of one of the orientations is compared to estimate the motion of the probe. These motion estimates are used to position a succession of images acquired in one of the orientations accurately with respect to each other in an EFOV display format. The display format may be either a 2D EFOV image or a 3D EFOV image.

EXTENDED FIELD OF VIEW ULTRASONIC IMAGING WITH GUIDED EFOV SCANNING - An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces an extended field of view (EFOV) image. A 3D imaging probe is moved along the skin of a patient above the anatomy which is to be included in the EFOV image. As the probe is moved, images are acquired from a plurality of differently oriented image planes such as a sagittal plane and a transverse plane. As the probe is moved the image data of successive planes of one of the orientations is compared to estimate the motion of the probe. These motion estimates are used to position a succession of images acquired in one of the orientations accurately with respect to each other in an EFOV display format. The motion estimates are also used to display a graphic on the display screen which indicates the progress of the scan to the user as the probe is being moved. The progress may be indicated in terms of probe velocity, distance traveled, or the path traversed by the moving probe.

ULTRASONIC SHEAR WAVE IMAGING WITH FOCUSED SCANLINE BEAMFORMING - An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces an image of shear wave velocities by transmitting push pulses to generate shear waves. A plurality of tracking lines are transmitted and echoes received by a focusing beamformer adjacent to the location of the push pulses. The tracking lines are sampled in a time-interleaved manner. The echo data acquired along each tracking line is processed to determine the time of peak tissue displacement caused by the shear waves at points along the tracking line, and the times of peaks at adjacent tracking lines compared to compute a local shear wave velocity. The resultant map of shear wave velocity values is color-coded and displayed over an anatomical image of the region of interest.
